This category is crucial for accurately documenting incidents involving medications that can lead to harmful effects on the body, such as overdoses from prescribed drugs, unintentional ingestion of toxic substances, or adverse reactions to treatments.

T45 includes conditions related to poisoning, adverse effects, and underdosing of systemic and hematological agents such as anticoagulants, antineoplastics, and other medications that can lead to systemic toxicity or hematological complications.
T45 codes should be used when a patient presents with symptoms related to poisoning, adverse drug reactions, or underdosing of medications that fall under the category of systemic and hematological agents. It is essential to ensure that the specific circumstances of the case are accurately reflected in the documentation.
Documentation for T45 should include a detailed account of the patient's symptoms, the specific agents involved, the circumstances of exposure or underdosing, and any treatments administered. Additionally, a thorough patient history and medication list are essential to support the coding decision.
